India-Pakistan Ceasefire: What Forced Pak to Seek Ceasefire with India? Operation Sindoor Impact

India’s powerful and precise military response under Operation Sindoor forced Pakistan to seek a ceasefire, following the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Army’s targeted strikes on nine terror hubs across Pakistan and PoK sent a clear message: terror will be met with force. Despite international outreach, including behind-the-scenes pressure from the U.S. reportedly linked to Pakistan’s IMF bailout, India held its ground—refusing any political dialogue or compromise. The ceasefire was brokered solely through military channels, with Pakistan’s DGMO reaching out first. Indian officials have reiterated: any future provocation will cross a red line. #IndiaPakistanCeasefire #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndiaPakistanNews #IndiaVsPakistan #IndiaPakistanConflict #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaAttacksPakistan #PakistanVsIndia #IndiaPakistan2025 #IndiaPakistanRelations #IndiaPakistanTalks #IndiaPakistanCrisis #IndiaPakistanLive #IndiaPakistanUpdate #IndiaPakistanBorders Also Read Omar Abdullah Questions Ceasefire Amid Fresh Explosions In Srinagar: 'What On Earth Just Happened?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/omar-abdullah-questions-ceasefire-amid-fresh-explosions-in-srinagar-what-on-earth-just-happened-4149995.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Pleads for Ceasefire After India's Relentless Response to Terror :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/pakistan-pleads-for-ceasefire-after-indias-relentless-response-to-terror-4149969.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Crumbles Within Hours As Pakistan Violates Truce Along LoC :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/ceasefire-crumbles-within-hours-as-pakistan-violates-truce-along-loc-4149927.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~

The breakthrough comes after days of intense hostilities, sparked by the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. In response to a wave of Pakistani drone strikes, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror bases in Pakistan and PoK. While explosions rocked both sides this morning, Kashmiri voices are now calling for peace and praising strong action against terror networks. #IndiaPakistan #Ceasefire #BreakingNews #PahalgamAttack #TerrorStrike #IndiaStrikesBack #PakistanDroneAttack #OperationSindoor #MissileStrike #IndoPakConflict #BorderTensions #SouthAsiaCrisis #IndianArmy #PakistanMilitary #ForeignPolicy #DroneWarfare #CrossBorderTension #NationalSecurity #Airstrike #LiveUpdates #JammuAndKashmir #IndiaNews #GlobalSecurity #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #VikramMisri #CeasefireDeal #POK #MilitaryResponse #IndoPakNews Also Read Imran Khan Death Rumour: Was Former Pakistan PM Murdered in Jail on Asim Munir’s Orders? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/imran-khan-death-was-former-pakistan-pm-murdered-in-jail-on-asim-munir-s-orders-4149817.html?ref=DMDesc Foreign Secy Viram Misri Says India, Pakistan Enacted Ceasefire From 5 PM Today, Islamabad Took Initiative :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/foreign-secy-viram-misri-says-india-pakistan-enacted-ceasefire-from-5-pm-today-islamabad-took-init-4149751.html?ref=DMDesc Will India Revoke Suspension Of Indus Water Treaty After Ceasefire Agreement With Pakistan? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/will-india-revoke-suspension-of-indus-water-treaty-after-ceasefire-agreement-with-pakistan-4149725.html?ref=DMDesc

Iranian Drones SHOT DOWN by French Rafales | France ADMITS Military Action in Israel-Iran War

As the Iran-Israel war winds down, France has revealed its covert military role during the conflict. Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed that French forces intercepted fewer than ten Iranian drones aimed at Israel before the ceasefire. Using Rafale jets and ground systems, France acted in self-defense to protect troops and regional installations. The revelation underscores limited NATO involvement in defending Israel and highlights the growing threat from Iran’s drone arsenal, which sought to map Israeli air defenses. France's move marks a rare and bold military admission in the Middle East crisis. #France #RafaleJets #IranAttack #TelAvivUnderAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IranStrikesHaifa #HaifaPort #MissileStrike #TelAvivExplosions #IsraelIranWar #IronDome #IDF #MiddleEastCrisis #TehranRetaliation #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #TelAvivMissiles #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderFire #TelAvivSkyline #MilitaryTensions #IDFHeadquarters #IsraelVsIran #BreakingNews #MissileDefense #IsraelNews #IranNews #WarUpdates #TelAvivAttack #IsraelStrikesIran #IsraelIranWar Also Read From Hanoi With Drama: Did France’s First Lady Just Slap The President? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/from-hanoi-with-drama-did-france-s-first-lady-just-slap-the-president-4164443.html?ref=DMDesc Rafale Marine Deal: India and France Strengthen Naval Forces with Rs 63,000 Crore Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rafale-marine-deal-india-and-france-strengthen-naval-forces-with-rs-63000-crore-agreement-4137163.html?ref=DMDesc India-France $10 Billion Defense Deals: Rafale Jets & Scorpene Submarines On the Horizon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-france-10-billion-defense-deals-rafale-jets-scorpene-submarines-on-the-horizon-4034341.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Saket Gokhale’s ₹50 Lakh Apology EXPOSES Congress Playbook: Lies, Media Uproar… Then Silence [Video]

Saket Gokhale’s ₹50 Lakh Apology EXPOSES Congress Playbook: Lies, Media Uproar… Then Silence

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale has issued an unconditional public apology and agreed to pay ₹50 lakh in damages after falsely accusing ex-diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri of corruption. The Delhi High Court warned of civil detention if he failed to comply. But Gokhale’s apology isn’t an isolated incident — it’s just another example in a long line of opposition leaders making defamatory claims, triggering outrage, and then quietly backtracking when confronted by the courts. From Rahul Gandhi’s RSS allegations to the Rafale lie, from ‘khoon ki dalali’ to defaming NSA Ajit Doval’s son — the pattern is clear: slander first, apologise later. #SaketGokhale #CongressExposed #RahulGandhi #LakshmiPuri #DelhiHighCourt #PoliticalDrama #CongressLies #NewIndia #TruthPrevails #OppositionPolitics #BJPVsCongress Also Read Kamal Haasan Faces Karnataka High Court Reprimand for Not Apologising Over Controversial Remarks :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kamal-haasan-karnataka-hc-actor-refuses-apologise-011-4171617.html?ref=DMDesc They Gate Crashed!
